"These sheers are perfect in every way. I wanted something to cut down the glare in our living room but I did not want to block the light and I wanted to be able to see outside. I just wanted to soften the light. They are very well made and are perfect for our needs. They look very nice at our windows and I highly recommend them to soften the light at your windows."

A: Cotton Voile is a semi-sheer. It will give you some privacy during the day, but not at night. For something similar that is a bit thicker, you might be interested in Jane's Plain & Simple, Hemstitch, Diamond Band, or Weaver's Cloth.
